“Realism in Italy at the dawn of the 21st century“, 2005-2012. Series of 473 photographs, prints on paper 21 × 28 cm, ed. 3. A monumental series of photographs taken between 2005 and 2012 documenting with a realist vision, although intentionally biased, the decline condition of urban and suburban Italian territories, yet showing glints of poetry.
The photographs were shot with an IR-modified pocket digital camera that I always take with me, to catch the ephemeral moments.
